{"value"=>"The House of Representatives has just passed the Impost Bill, but it must undergo further formalities made necessary by the Constitution, and may be greatly changed; duty on molasses is abated to five cents per gallon when imported by native vessels; there is also to be a drawback of five cents per gallon on all rum exported; this will be some relief to distillers, but not to consumers of the rum or molasses."}
